I FLIPPED MY BED LINER ON MY ENDER S1 AND USED 35 GRIT MEDIUM HARD JUST 10 SECONDS OF SANDING AND THE POLYCARBONATE STUCK PERFECT NOT TO WELDED ON AND DID NOT BREAK OFF !! USED YOUR ENCLOSURE IDEA AND I WAS MELTY FOR THE FIRST 3 TRIES AND REDUCED THE HEAT BY 2 DEGREES UNTILL IT HARDENED TO MUCH THEN INCREASED TEMP BY 1 DEGREE THEN .5 DEGREE !!! WORKS PERFECT NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THAT EASY !! NO GASSES YET I'M STILL PRINTING SMALL!!! THINK I WAS AT 254.5 JUST CHECKED THE SETTINGS AND IT SAYS 256 C THANKS FOR THE VID!!!

Hi bro Can you explain encoders pin? I have dc motor encoder gja370-25 6 wires How can i use it to do the same project I will add your name in preferences

That's why on my conversion I'm using tapered roller ones.😁

Hey man I got x-Toaster also, are you still happy with it, what are some modifications you did since? cheers!

​@Loopyengineeringco Hi i work in bicycle shop. Enduro bearing with "MAX" in the name, they are not designed for full rotation, only up to approximately 45°.

Great video!

Hello. There are 3 pzem-004t v3 in my project and I am trying to get data with nodemcu. I can retrieve data for each pzem one by one without any problems. However, when I connect to D3 and D4 pins, whether I define an address or not, only the last address is returned and mostly data is missing. Can I have your code that shows the sensor readings except the important parts?

the governor system is a deterrent for me to try this 😂

How did you manage to pass the video receptors under the cross table? I'm working on a similar project, but I can't get the life die and the sphere circle to pass under the cross table. Could you give me your WhatsApp or an email and send me the photos below the table if possible? Thank you very much

Fine but why the need for the nauseating music? It’s a generator!!

Awesome video. I am looking for a simple solution PZEM-004T with Microcontroller WT32-ETH01 and ESPHOME but cannit make it work. Could somebody assist?

i been watching videos for designs to kinda see what i should do with my specific machine, yours is simple and i love it

curious if you have issues with the green spindle running it at high speed, i have a similar one and they are only rated to 3 or 5k rpm. i am a bit scared to gear my treadmill motor so that it can spin the spindle at ~8k rpm, lots of spinny stuff close to my head haha

love it! i recently made a manual mill in my driveway with some 200x200x16mm steel tube offcuts i got for $60 and then a free treadmill motor. similar spindle and xy table too. but i got some bosch 35mm linear rails for free from uni for my z axis!

Love it

That is a beautiful setup!

A pair of angular contact bearings opposite one another is normally what machine-tool builders use in higher-end blocks.

Great job. With your nut, you should make it have another boss extend beyon the one that locates it in the slitting blade, that locates in the toolholder. That way you will perfectly center the the blade and there's no chance it will slip in a heavy cut. If the chips dont clear and the teeth get clogged up, there is a lot of force on the blade

Hi, I am Newbie in These Things I want use 3 Pzem with Esp8266, Is It Possible to do, If Not Then Which Microcontroller would be best (must have Wifi)

they do make 4 point contact angular bearings that are good for load in both directions. fyi

Your channel deserves more subs! Thanks for posting this, about to do the same. Great content, keep them coming! Particularly impressed with the mill!

The best explanation of preloading a bearing block on the internet.. hands down.. incredible presentation sir.

10 year and not has can build better big work shop, lazy or why not clean all trash out have lot biggest work area.

I used those same Enduro bearings with a spacer for my machine, but I also used a stack of Belleville washers under the nut to make it easier to set the preload. Also I've got two ballnuts back to back on each ballscrew again using stacks of Belleville washers to preload them against eachother. I've used it a lot over the last year and a half and still no backlash 😎

Quality thrust bearing assembly comes with angular contact bearings . Cheap Chinese copies use cheap bearings as they are a clone not engineered.

This will be known as "that video I made before I lost my hand"

Apart from backlash, still very impressive though considering its made from various bare minimal scrap!

Very cool sir, ingenious!

where did you get the bearing from

i replaced mine with angular contact bearings on those..

disaster in electric cabinet

I vote option B with the tool changer 👌

I really like your cnc mill. On the next project I think the x and z movements on the spindle is a better option, it gives you more room for improvement and a larger working area.

Cool!

what was the price total?

Could you put an actual thrust bearing in there?

I like the closed frame. Swapping X and Y makes no difference, as long as your controller knows what to do. Have you considered some guarding for your XY table? Everything lasts longer if you can keep tiny hot bits of metal away. For Z, some grooves in the plastic might help distribute grease. Honestly, it all looks useful. Best way to show it off is to mill something. Looking forward to future videos.

Recently found your channel enjoying your videos!

Any videos of it milling?

Great job!

I am extremely new to this I want to build a generator because store brought ones are expensive. I would love to see if I could build one for emergency use. I am going to use a vertical engine and an alternator of a old car or brand new.

Your batteries appear wired series parallel. Common mistake. Fix that.

Good video, Its nice to see that the alternator is inline with the engine, This shows originality, Everyone else who makes a video with an engine/alternator just copy each other without knowing why, Its a bit like the rocket stoves videos, the inverter is only showing the killer watt hours that it produce but fuel is still been used when the batteries are charge and nothing plugged in.

Cool upgrade.

Before tramming the spindle, you need to make sure your Z-axis travels perpendicular to the table (XY axes). Tramming is the last thing you do, actually, first you make sure your X and Y axis are parallel to the Z carriage (most likely you'll need to shim under the table as well), then you check the Z axis perpendicularity to the table, you do that by placing a precision square (one that you trust it's square) or one of those 123 block on the table and attach the indicator to the Z carriage with the needle touching the precision square, then move the Z axis up and down and read the value, do it along both the X and Y axes. Only then you tram the spindle, and it's best that you use the XY coordinate table you mounted the vice on as the base to touch the indicator, this big slab of steel probably isn't ground flat, so it's introducing more error to the reading. It's a nice machine nonetheless, I'm going to build mine soon too, with a similar frame.

I've been thinking about creating linear rails using those steel angles, but I was going to use some thin gibs of UHMW polymer to reduce friction, since UHMW is second to teflon in friction coefficient, and has higher abrasion resistance. But the problem with those type of linear guides, like dovetail, is that it has to be ground to be accurate enough. Search for UHMW slippery tape, maybe you could use that to reduce friction and make it slide more easily. I think concrete is a more cost-effective alternative to epoxy granite to fill the machine bed, if you look at the Loss Coefficient vs Young's Modulus chart, concrete has about the same vibration dampening quality as epoxy granite, while having larger modulus of elasticity and being way cheaper. Langmuir is using concrete in its new machine MR-1 CNC Gantry Mill.

that's cool, nice organically grown cnc. Thanks for the tour. How did you tram/square the z-axis?

Hello. I want to connect the PZEM to a regular ESP32 via the RX2 and TX2 ports. Is a 5v to 3.3v voltage converter needed?

you should have just put jumper from your car to the batteries and skipped all the farbrication stuff, would be a lot quieter and probably just as good on gas with all the time and money you would have saved anyhow. I dunno, maybe that's cool, what you did. but yeah there a lot easier ways to build a power generator if you just look around.

very well done, I built my first DC generator 30 Years a go . i was taking about it in a forum On you tube. Back then i was born on a of grid property & my first generator was a dynamo of a lorry. & I built it . to charge a battery bank that was power with wood gas, the control unit of my day was the vibrating mantic flucs regulated. used in the day to charge up car's & loris In realty todays alternators now com couplet with a built in control box rectifier The intrudingly . thing was that todays invites convert DC in TO AD power to day in my day the modern day. for me we lit our house on bottled gas. But we used the demand suppled by the DC battery bank light our house & in my day we had 12'volt bulbs used in garages which was the existent of our limited siystom. untill,12volt black & whit VT came along & we could ues them to power the TV of the battery bank in 1964 until then if we power a TV that run of the mains it was a stranded "40 genset we used a villas set in my day . i used the same siystom on the Dc genitor to power my batteries with wind divined & dermo slow in low wind, But very effective in the winter months. I must say to see you youngster's Redeveloping the hid dear is intrusting & the dc Generator will get you out of a fix. in this modern age. & given the present Availability of the Invert. Generating with the modem day alternator . would seem to make it a breeze. yes well done , Les Thompson
